might as well attack every business on the planet because they ALL SELL INFORMATION TO VARIOUS THIRD PARTIES. Even ATS probably does, well someone
probably snoops around collecting information for this site!

I reckon these teenagers have been watching too much V for Vendatta and should just stop this foolishness now because WE in the end, THE ORDINARY
PEOPLE, will face more strict and severe internet restrictions in the future because of their incompetences.

I agree....before personal computers...before the internet.....before facebook etc. our information was sold to 3rd parties...this has been going on
since business began.....it is nothing new....now they can just do it faster.

I also believe that some companies mean well...but....they have individual employees who are not honest and are selling peoples information (under
the table) so to speak...to make extra money.

Sorry to disappoint, but this isn't real. The Facebook op was last month. That is why there has been no mention of it on the Anon blog or irc
channel. Just some kids messing around I assume. Carry on.

shame how many people will miss this post ♥

you can all go back to ┣▇f͟͞a͟͞c͟͞e͟͞b͟͞o͟͞o͟͞k͟͞▇▇═─ now
nothing to worry about

Sorry for the odd reply to this last night. It was just the first thing that popped in my head when I read the post. Wonder if they've been in my dvd
collection?
Personaly I agree with some of the other responses on here. People that post their every move on sites like fb have no right to privacy. They place
their entire lives onto the world stage.
As far as this particular group wanting to destroy fb, who cares? It won't affect me in any way. I could care less either way. I'm still on the
fence though about whether or not they are helping or hurting.

I personally agree and don't use it, but my son uses it to keep in touch with his family and friends while in Afganistan he is able to share pictures
and stuff to all by putting it up once instead of having to sent to each person, i think it is really helpful to the military people away from home.

Wow, real spooky. A bunch of red-bulled up nerds threatening to take down a social network. About as dramatic as crashing a tupper-ware party.

I use FB, but the amount of information that I submitted could be easily be gleaned from a phonebook or a stop at my local courthouse. Looking at
pictures of friend's new babies, vacations, my old Army buddy's Friday night party, what type of music I prefer, and which movie I'm going to next
week is of more interest to P&G's marketing division than the likes of the NSA or Homeland Security.

I just love how people still try to act like we've all got such interesting little nuggets of privacy and specialities in our life that we must
protect, yet we have willingly submitted so much information to the system in trade for benefits from the system. Most of us use the internet, cell
phones, file our taxes, apply for driver's licenses, use debit cards, use the grid's electricity, yet still try to act like we're so much
different from Joe six pack simply because we discuss issues and subscribe to a newsletter or two. The sooner we all admit that we're sheep, the
better.

It's called a fileserver. Why do they need facebook? Ignorance is never an excuse.

And to the guy above me.....

WOW. You should just quit life... Go live like a robot... it's EXACTLY what you deserve.

Maybe I'm in a real annoyed mood today but reading through this thread it really puts into perspective how many people re just lost now a days...

It really puts into perspective how many people cant think outside the box and are crippled by what I call tunnel thinking - essentially only seeing
one avenue or solution to any given problem, and shutting down in hopelessness when that avenue is compromised.

hypothetically say FB is shut down, why would this anger anyone? I mean how simple minded are you to NOT fight for legit issues such as the war or
the climate change or even hunger and poverty but yet mess with my FB and all hell breaks loose...

Its in-effin-sane....simply insane...

So many problems in the world that dont get a single reaction from individuals, yet something so mindless as FB ceasing to exist and people are angry
enough to riot...it boggles my mind...

Today's world and the way we live leaves little room for privacy anyway and some people feel they have no reason to hid their info that is their
business. Many people use cameras and keep their whole lives online.

In a sense we post a lot of ourselves here on ATS actually more giving away our true nature our view of issues and interests. What if they decided to
take down ATS when you have decided you like to show your information here...your business to choose to do so.
